Divvied up into four seasons (Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter), you play the heroine at an all-boys private school, called “Seigatsu Academy.” In each game, you have three love interests, so in all you’ve 12 guys to choose as your “target.” Here’s a breakdown of all four games: I’ve only played one series of otome (maiden) games, and that is the Starry Sky series of games. So if you’re curious on BL games, do take a look at the thought pieces I linked to above. Thank goodness for sites like Half-Adder, or else I’d end up getting bad endings all up the wazoo. The “Ivan” and “Giulio” routes in Lucky Dog 1.Īnd yes, these are very time-consuming.The “Mido (Megane)” route in Kichiku Megane.I usually post picspams of the routes that I play on my yaoi-centric Tumblr (which may not have BL content posted daily, btw), along with my own thoughts on the game itself.

Lucky Dog 1 is a doujin game by Tennenouji, and even though it’s fairly new, it’s really entertaining.

Kichiku Megane is a pretty hardcore title that’s made a name for itself on its own, and is definitely worth checking out if you’re a fan of one (or more) of the seiyuu that are cast. If you can’t take gore, then you probably won’t like that game. I haven’t played the “legendary” Lamento or Togainu no Chi, but I do plan on playing them, one day! Ironically enough, the very first one I did play was Sweet Pool by Nitro+ Chiral (the same company that did Lamento and Togainu), and that one was very gory. I haven’t completed any fully, but I have finished off at least one route in thiese games: The only thing that progresses the story are your choices. Anyway, BL games are often called “visual novels” since all you have are pictures and dialogue. What followed was a snowball effect where I ended up getting interested in games to play, haha. I had no idea about visual novels and all that, but I got into BL games due to curiosity. When I first got into yaoi, I only thought it encompassed just manga and anime–I had no idea about the games that were catered to the female audience in Japan! And for some strange reason, they tickle my fancy just right. I never thought I’d ever play Boys Love games or Otome games the moment I found out I liked yaoi.
